How to Reach Goa

Goa is a state rather than a town, and its coast runs about a hundred kilometres — where you stay decides which Goa you get, and a car is what joins the two ends of it.

What the road asks of you

This route crosses into Goa

Leaving Andhra Pradesh for Goa means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Goa, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.

A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre

A return journey is charged for at least 250 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 362 km each way, so 723 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 750 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.

What is there

The north beaches

Candolim, Calangute, Baga and Anjuna — the busy, built-up stretch.

The south beaches

Colva, Benaulim, Palolem — quieter, wider, further apart.

Basilica of Bom Jesus

The 16th-century church at Old Goa holding St Francis Xavier's remains.

Se Cathedral

The largest church in Asia by some measures, in the same Old Goa complex.

Fort Aguada

The Portuguese fort and lighthouse above the mouth of the Mandovi.

Dudhsagar Falls

The four-tier falls on the Mandovi, inland on the Karnataka border.

Worth knowing before you go

  • North and south are an hour or more apart by road — pick one to stay in rather than crossing daily.
  • Old Goa's churches are a group, inland from the beaches, and are best done in one trip.
  • Dudhsagar is inside Bhagwan Mahaveer sanctuary and the last stretch is not by private car.
